InternatIonal Jury report2013
Wiki Loves Monuments has been organized
this year for the fourth time, and even more
successful than in the previous years! More
than 365,000 pictures have been submitted
by almost 12,000 people. Similarly to previous
years, the contest was organized through nu-
merous national contests, coordinated by local
volunteers. The national juries submitted then
up to 10 pictures to the international stage of
the contest. In this year’s edition 52 countries
have submitted their nominations, resulting in a
total of 503 candidating pictures for the inter-
national jury to consider.
Wiki Loves Monuments invited people to submit
pictures of the listed monuments in the partici-
pating countries during the month of Septem-
ber. All countries did so in the period 1-30 Sep-
tember, with the exception of Israel, that had a
shifted time schedule of 2 weeks.
We are very proud to see that the contest has
grown to so many different participating coun-
tries, which is clearly reflected in the diversity
amongst the finalists. While the contest kicked
off in 2010 in the Netherlands, in 2011 a total
of 18 countries participated throughout Europe,
and in 2012 they were 33 countries around the
world, this year the participating countries re-
ached 52, with a significant growth in Asia and
South America.
In this report we want to give insight in the jud-
ging process and outcomes. The report includes
a summary of the process steps and announces
the winning pictures. We have also included the
finalists that did make it to the final selection
of 41 images, but did not win a prize. Also, we
have included the reasons why the jury mem-
bers have selected these 15 images as their
top ranking winners.

how the jury works
503 nominations were submitted to the non-
voting jury moderator by the national juries of
the 52 participating countries. Each country was
allowed to submit up to 10 images, but some
countries decided to submit less images. Belgi-
um and Luxembourg organized one joint com-
petition, and submitted 10 images together.
The nominations were collected in a judging
tool, where each jury member independently
rated all images with 1 (poor) to 5 (very good)
stars over a period of 1 week. The jury mo-
derator collected the images with the highest
average rating: 45 images received 14 stars or
more in this first round.
In a next step, jury members were invited to
comment on these 45 images, and if three jury
members would together decide that an image
definitely didn‘t belong in the top-20, they could
veto it. Following this process 4 images were
removed and therefore just 41 remained for the
second round.
Finally, the jury members were asked to submit
their ranked top-20 from this selection over the
span of a week, giving 20 points to the best
picture, 19 to the second and so forth to 1 point
for the 20th best picture. These points were ad-
ded together, and a combined jury ranking was
produced.
The Special Awards were awarded via a sepa-
rate process described at the relevant section.
the special awards
With the help of dedicated sponsors, we were
able to present three Special Award categories
this year.

the winner.

Wiesen ViaductPhotographer: David Gubler (Kabelleger)
Monument: Wiesen Viaduct
Location: Near Wiesen, Graubünden,
Switzerland
A RhB Ge 4/4 II locomotive with a push-pull
train is crossing at noon in the winter season
the Wiesener Viaduct over the Landwasser ri-
ver between Wiesen and Filisur, Switzerland. It
spans the Landwasser River southwest of the
hamlet of Wiesen, in the Canton of Graubün-
den. [English]
Der Wiesener Viadukt ist eine Eisenbahnbrücke
südlich von Davos Wiesen im Schweizer Kan-
ton Graubünden. Über diese Brücke führt die
Bahnstrecke Davos Platz–Filisur, die den kleinen
Fluss Landwasser überspannt. [German]
Jury comments
This picture represents a nice harmo-
ny between a monument, nature and human
life. The image gives a very good panoramic
view of the viaduct with an interesting blend
of colors drawing attention to the center of
the picture. The shadows at the bottom of
the picture give a special kind of symmetry
with the mountains. Was it rare good fortune
or is it a cliché?1
Shi Family abodePhotographer: Chen Yi Chieh (Husky221)
Monument: Shi Family Abode
(鹿港施進益古厝)
Location: Lukang, Changhua County,
Taiwan
Shi Family Abode is in Lukang township, cen-
tral Taiwan. It was built in the eighteen hundred
by businessman Shi Yuan-jiu for family use. It
is nick-named “four-block house” as there are
three buildings in a row. The wooden two-story
house was of traditional Minan style and well
preserved. In April 13, 2009, the Shi Family
Abode was appointed as historical building by
the local government. [English]

Jury comments
This photo captures the imagery, his-tory, tradition and narration all in one pho-tograph. Every detail of the monument has been given equal due so that put together it makes a fine graphic reportage. Excellent management of lights and shadows: they give a mysterious feeling to this abode while the perspective shows an attractive view of the site.
2 為三棟連在一起的建築,俗稱四塊大厝,建築形式為傳統閩南二層樓店屋,以木構造建成。其中舊樓井仍保存相當完整。經施家後人主動提報為歷史建築,2009年4月13日經地方政府指定為歷史建築。 [Chinese]
EgyEtEmi KönyvtárPhotographer: Thaler
Monument: University Library of Eötvös
Loránd University
Location: District V., Budapest, Hungary
The University Library was founded in 1561, the
building of the university built in 1876 in eclectic
style, designed by Antal Szkalnitzky, one of the
most prominent Hungarian architects of the capi-
tal at that time. Walls of the main hall are decora-
ted by several frescoes painted by Károly Lotz and
Mór Than. The library boasts 2 million items and
used to function as the national library until the
National Széchényi Library was founded. [English]
Az 1561-ben alapított könyvtár épülete 1876-
ban épült eklektikus stílusban, a kor jelentős
fővárosi építésze, Szkalnitzky Antal tervezte,
Jury comments
This image gives a good overview of
an interesting subject. The composition is
excellent, the lighting good. Practically all
details were captured in this angular view.
While human presence is clear from the por-
traits, moved furniture and books, the pic-
ture makes you wonder why this library is
so empty. The librarian turned away from the
camera adds to the candid nature. 3 dísztermének falait Lotz Károly és Than Mór
freskói díszítik. A könyvtár nagysága meghalad-
ja a kétmillió könyvtári egységet, az Országos
Széchényi Könyvtár alapítása előtt gyakorlatilag
országos könyvtárként funkcionált.[Hungarian]
2 NadrzeczNa StreetPhotographer: Jar.ciurus
Monument: House at 2 Nadrzeczna Street
Location: Nowa Ruda, Lower Silesia,
Poland
Staircase in a 17th century weaver house at
2 Nadrzeczna St in Nowa Ruda, located on a
bank of the Włodzica River. This two-storey buil-
ding was re-built in 1806 and again in the 20th
century, and can be entered through riverside
arcades. [English]
Schody w XVII-wiecznym domu tkaczym przy
ul. Nadrzecznej 2 w Nowej Rudzie, położonym
bezpośrednio nad rzeką Włodzicą. Ten dwukon-
dygnacyjny budynek został przebudowany w
roku 1806 i ponownie w XX wieku, a wejście
do niego znajduje się w podcieniach po stronie
rzeki. [Polish]
Jury comments
Jury comments: An original shot of an
unusual residential building. Neglect, hu-
man intervention (graffiti) and broken paving
highlight the plight of this monument. Good
play with light with architectural details ma-
king this a big picture.

Wiesbaden KurhausPhotographer: Martin Kraft
Monument: Wiesbaden Kurhaus
Location: Wiesbaden, Germany
The hall in the spa house of Wiesbaden was
built in 1905-07 and is named after the spa‘s
architect, Friedrich von Thiersch. It serves as
a congress and concert hall and offers 1,350
seats as well as excellent acustics. The ceiling
reminds of a church ceiling and is coloured
mostly in blue and gold. [English]
Der Saal im Kurhaus von Wiesbaden wurde
1905-07 erbaut und ist nach seinem Architekten
Friedrich von Thiersch benannt. Er dient als Kon-
gress- und Konzertsaal, bietet 1.350 Sitzplätze
und exzellente Akustik. Die Decke ist kirchenähn-
lich dekoriert und in gold-blau gehalten.[German]
Jury commentsA classic picture, with an impressi-
ve symmetry. The muted shades add to the beauty and clarity in the narrative aspects of the image that is fleshed out in the artefacts. Clearly the photographer was not the only one trying to capture the beauty of this con-cert hall, his friend is hidden on the left of the picture.

Phra NakhoN khiriPhotographer: Kritmongkholrat Arunsuriya
Monument: Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical
Park
Location: Phetchaburi Province, Thailand
Frangipani (Plumeria) flowers at Phra Nakhon
Khiri Historical Park. Phra Nakhon Khiri Histo-
rical Park was a summer palace built during
the reign of King Rama IV. Phra Nakron Khiri
contains a number of royal houses, and one of
them is used for the Phra Nakron Khiri National
Museum. [English]
Jury comments
The photographer has found a good
angle to capture the complete monument.
The colors of the blurred golden frangipani
flowers on the foreground match the sky co-
lor and help to frame the composition. The
rundown monument adds pathos and hope
in one image. 6����������������������������������������� �� ����������������������������������� � ����!��"���#��$"��������%�#�����&�&'(�)*+,�� �����%&��������� [Thai]
Keleti pályaudvarPhotographer: Németh Tibor
Monument: Budapest Keleti Railway Station
Location: Budapest VIII district, Hungary
Keleti (Eastern) Railway Station is the most im-
portant railway junction of Budapest. Its name
comes not from the geographical location but
the fact that it connected the capital with Ea-
stern countries. The eclectic style building was
built in the 1880s, with statues of George Ste-
phenson and James Watt gracing the facade of
its main entrance. It was one of the most mo-
dern railway terminal in Europe in the time was
built with electric lights and automatic railroad
switch system. [English]
Budapest legfontosabb vasúti közlekedési
csomópontja a Keleti pályaudvar, mely nem a
földrajzi fekvéséről, hanem a keleti államokkal
Jury comments
The framing and perspective of this
photo are very attractive. It makes good use
of shadows, sharpness and the presence of
people to give it a natural look. The image
is excellent from many points of view and is
useful as encyclopedic illustration.
7 való vasúti összeköttetéséről kapta a nevét. Az
eklektikus stílusú épület az 1880-as években
épült, a főhomlokzat kapuzata mellett George
Stephenson és James Watt szobra látható. A pá-
lyaudvar építésekor az egyik legkorszerűbbnek
számított Európában elektromos világítással és
központi irányítású váltórendszerrel. [Hungarian]
Zbraslav Castle
Photographer: Zdeněk Fiedler
Monument: Zbraslav Castle
Location: Zbraslav, Czech Republic
Aerial view of the Zbraslav Chateau - originally
a cistercian monastery, rebuilt as a chateau
(1785). In 20th century, the facility was also ser-
ved as an exhibition place of the National Gallery
and in the future it will be available for the Nati-
onal Library. [English]
Letecký pohled na Zbraslavský zámek - původně
cisterciánský klášter, přebudovaný na zámek
(1785). Ve 20. století rovněž sloužil jako výstavní
prostor pro Národní galerii a v budoucnosti má
být využit Národní knihovnou. [Czech]
Jury comments
The aerial photo gives a very clear
presentation of the ensemble. The former
monastery has been captured in perfect light;
the trees, cars and architecture seem placed
strategically to make us believe that heritage,
nature and modern life can co-exist.

WaWel HIll
Photographer: Jar.ciurus
Monument: Wawel Hill
Location: Kraków, Poland
Wawel Hill and the Kraków heat and power sta-
tion before sunrise, with the Wawel Cathedral
visible to the left. The complex, which consists
of many buildings and fortifications, was the
formal seat of the Polish monarchy until 1611.
The place of coronation and mausoleum for the
Kings of Poland as well as a national pantheon,
the Wawel is a place of great significance for
the Polish people. [English]
Zespół Wzgórza Wawelskiego i elektrociepłownia
Kraków przed wschodem Słońca; katedra na
Wawelu widoczna po lewej stronie zdjęcia. Kom-
pleks wawelski, składający się z różnorakich
Jury comments
The composition is full of art and well
composed. It shows clearly the building
with a contract with the modern environ-
ment even though the perspective suggests
smaller distances than in reality. The combi-
nation with the mist gives the whole setting
an interesting atmosphere.
9 budynków i fortyfikacji, był formalną siedzibą
monarchii polskiej do roku 1611. Jako miejsce
koronacji i pochówku królów Polski oraz mau-
zoleum narodowe, Wawel zajmuje ważne miej-
sce w świadomości narodu polskiego. [Polish]
Montreal Biosphere
Photographer: guilhermeduartegarcia
Monument: Biosphere
Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Beautiful sunset at Parc Jean-Drapeau over the
Biosphere, a museum dedicated to the envi-
ronment. It is located in the former 1967 Expo
Pavillion of the United States on Sainte-Hélène
Island. [English]
Magnifique coucher de soleil au Parc Jean-
Drapeau sur la Biosphère. Ce musée consacré
à l’environnement est situé sur l’île Sainte-Hé-
lène, dans l‘ancien pavillon des États-Unis de
l’Expo 67.[French]
Jury comments
The image has a really big resolution
and is full of details. Every detail on this well
appointed ceiling is crystal clear; an excel-
lent control of the light at different places.

ChurCh of our Lady
Photographer: Hans A. Rosbach (Haros)
Monument: Church of Our Lady
Location: Trier, Germany
The Church of Our Lady in Trier is one of the
eldest gotic churches of Germany (built in the
13th century) and together with the Dome of
Trier next to it part of a UNESCO world heritage
site. [English]
Die Liebfrauenkirche in Trier ist eine der ältesten
gotischen Kirchen [resp. Kirchen gotischen Stils]
in Deutschland (gebaut im 13. Jahrhundert) und
ist mit dem neben ihr befindlichen Trierer Dom
Teil des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes. [German]
Jury comments
This image has a lot of detail and ba-lance, inviting the viewer to keep looking at it. The composition makes use of contrasts, shades and colors caused by the position of the sun on the horizon.
11
Calm lake
Photographer: Jeff chenqinyi
Monument: Autumn Moon Over the Calm
Lake
Location: Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province,
China
The Moon view at West Lake is the famous topic
of poetries and songs since the Southern Song.
There was no fixed place for the view “Autumn
Moon Over the Calm Lake” before Qing Dynas-
ty. The Kangxi Emperor appointed and inscribed
at the current place called Dragon King Hall,
which was built in the Ming Dynasty, during the
southern inspection tour in 1684. [English]
Jury comments
With few elements and colors, the
photographer has created an excellent view
of the monument with the addition of appro-
priate mood for the scene. The symbiose of
the serenity of the lake, the architecture and
the sunset is perfect. 12自南宋起,平湖秋月就是文人们咏景诗作的话题。清朝以前,平湖秋月并没有固定的地点,直到康熙皇帝南巡时,在龙王祠钦定并御提“平湖秋月”,才确定下来。 [Chinese]
Coal loader tower
Photographer: Péter Krischneider
Monument: Coal Loader tower of the
Danube
Location: Near Esztergom, Hungary
Coal loader, built in 1927, the unloading station
of a former cableway. Lonely industrial monu-
ment in the Danube, one of the remaining re-
quisites of the coal mining industry of Dorog.
Out of order since 1963. [English]
Az 1927-ben épült szénrakodó, az egykori köté-
lpálya leadó állomása. Magányos ipari műemlék
a Duna vizében, a dorogi szénbányászat még
meglévő rekvizitumainak egyike. 1963 óta nem
működik. [Hungarian]
Jury comments
A good point of view of the monument
and the visual resource of controlled back-
light and reflections produces an unusual
and very nice photo.

Photographer: Rodolfo Aragundi
Monument: Bridge of the Americas
Location: Balboa, Panama
The Bridge of the Americas from 1962 spans
344 m across the Panama Canal, connecting
the north and south of the American continent.
It is a non-swinging steel truss cantilever bridge,
with a clearance of 61 m at high tide. The bridge
is part of the Pan-American highway. [English]
El Puente de las Américas, inaugurado en
1962, abarca 344 metros alrededor del Canal

continente americano. Es un puente de diseño
de arco de modillón, con una altura de 61 met-
ros en su punto más alto. El puente es parte de
la Carretera Panamericana. [Spanish]
Jury comments
This photo on the bike is an original way of showing the life around a cultural heritage bridge. The technical glitches are compensated with the original perspective and the great shot under difficult and no doubt dangerous conditions.

Aqueduct of SegoviA
This remote “Monastery” in Petra was probably
in use as a temple, and later used as a church
or hermitage - which is visible from the crosses
inscribed in the interior. It may have been origi-
nally dedicated to the deified Nabatean king Obo-
das I, who reigned in the 1st century BC. [English]
